Sprinkle LOADS of cheese on your final product and microwave it until the cheese is melted and you've got yourself the perfect midnight snack!

7. Pita Pizza

Sometimes you just want pizza (well in my case it's always). So if a pizza can be made at home in just under 5 minutes? Count me the heck in! This microwave pita pizza literally just requires pita bread, some pizza sauce and any sort of veggies you've got lying in the kitchen - be it tomatoes, onions or spinach. Arrange the toppings on the pita, cover it with shredded mozzarella cheese and microwave until the cheese melts. Absolutely delightful!
